Next up in our review of 2020, we recall 10 of the most impressive and unusual houses featured on Dezeen this year, including a sculptural Chilean residence and a reconfigurable home in Tokyo.

House in Los Vilos, Chile, by Office of Ryue Nishizawa
An undulating, board-marked concrete roof shelters this Chilean house that Pritzker Prize-winning architect Ryue Nishizawa positioned beside the Pacific Ocean.
Its sculptural form mirrors the contours of its rocky site and the dips in its undulations are used in place of partitions, segmenting the dwelling into three distinct areas.

It is distinguished by its bright, stepped roof that incorporates large planters used to grow vegetables for the local community, which the Dezeen Awards jury described as a "humble gesture that has a very powerful reach".

Bumpers Oast, UK, by ACME
Over 41,000 tiles were used to clad Bumpers Oast, a quirky house that ACME designed to evoke hop-drying kilns found throughout the Kent countryside.
It comprises five tall towers, each filled with large, round rooms. At their peaks are dramatic cone-shaped sleeping spaces enveloped by plywood shingles and lit by openable skylights.
